Hi there, I've had one to try for well over a year. The sheath has been robust enough so far, but I fitted it with a D-ring and dangler as it rode too high up on my waist without it (my personal preference). I also modified the blade by putting a secondary bevel on it after a few weeks, as it would not keep its sharpness for longer than a days 'normal' camp usage. The cutting edge rolled quite easily, unlike my other 01 steels or stainless Mora doing the same jobs. Now it just takes a bit of stropping to recover the edge most days, but always needs some whetstone maintenance work after any wood carving or light batoning.
There's no doubt that I have much better quality blades as far as aesthetics and edge retention goes, but in most cases they cost much higher prices. But as for 'bang for your buck', as the saying goes, (cost me £36.95), for a thinner profiled blade in a standard 1075 steel and with comfortable solid walnut scales, in my opinion its been a good performer. I bought two more for my brother and his friend who have recently started out in Bushcraft.
